The “galloping horse” theory doesn’t work for me because I am not looking at my quilts from a galloping horse. We each decide for ourselves what level of flaws we can live with.

To me, it would be sad if we didn’t continue to try our best with each piece we make.
You said exactly what I was thinking.

My Mom always said "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing your best."

My friends would probably tell you I'm a perfectionist but that doesn't mean I'm perfect: it means I'm going to spend the time to make what I'm creating as perfect as I can make it.

Why bother spending your precious time making a "good enough" quilt?
